September 7, 2007, Newsletter Issue #22: Christmas Tree Garland

Tip of the Week

Bronners.com Tip: If you have a Christmas tree then most likely you have garland to decorate it. We have all seen garland, the decorative pieces of material that jazz up a tree, a stairwell, a doorway and even a fireplace mantle. It really doesn't matter where you put it, garland can brighten up your home and your Christmas tree during the holidays. 

There are so many different types of choices when it comes to garland, you may not even be aware of how many are out there. You can purchase garland on the Internet for reasonable prices, though with so many choices it may take you awhile to decide which is right for you.

You can purchase Christmas tree garland made of beads. Garland like this is sure to make your house more festive.  Choose from beaded garland in a wide array of colors from purple, burgundy, silver, blue and many more colors.  Choose from a length as short as three feet to as long as nine feet.  Beaded garland costs about $7 on average and will add a classy feel to your Christmas.

If beaded garland isn't what you are looking for, you have several more choices. If you want to decorate your house with novelty Christmas items, why not choose garland in the shape of candy canes or flowers.  Better yet, why not pick a sugared fruit candy garland and really add a splash to your holiday?  Novelty garland is typically about six feet in length and averages about $5 in price.  Something so inexpensive can really make for a beautifully decorated home for the holidays.

If you would rather, you can choose a more traditional garland, such as garland that resembles a boa or tinsel garland that comes in a variety of colors.  These types of garland can be as long as 15 feet and are usually about $4 for one. 

You can also purchase garland that resembles natural greenery or is flocked with artificial snow. Ornament hooks make it easy to drape garland on your tree. Garland such as this makes a wonderful accent on a fireplace mantel or a banister for your stairwell.

Regardless of the garland you choose, you know that there will be something for everyone when it comes time to buy!
